your magazine the most interesting of any until you put in the reprint stories; now I know it is the most interesting. Cummings' latest, Explorers Into Infinity, has proved a masterpiece so far, but don't you think the installments too short?"
"I am a new reader of Weird Tales, and want to congratulate you on the publication of such a splendid magazine," writes E. E. M., of Birmingham, Alabama, in a letter to the Eyrie. "I don't like tales of supernatural horror but I do like those of imaginative science and pseudo-science, such as Explorers Into Infinity. Weird Tales is the best magazine of its kind in print."
"The 'snowbird' story by Carr in the May issue, i. e., Phantom Fingers, is a real corncracker and gets my vote by a jugful," writes the Rev. Henry S. Whitehead from Oswego, New York.
"Each month Weird Tales is improved in some distinct manner," writes Jack Snow, of Dayton, Ohio. "Perhaps it contains some mighty story or it may be composed of a group of excellent tales, but it never fails to bear the mark of progress. Please do not even consider discontinuing your reprints. Weird Tales can find sufficient worthy material from the great library of the past for one reprint story a month. I am taking this opportunity to thank you for the March issue of Weird Tales which contained Lovecraft's The White Ship. It was a beautiful, exquisite little story, as remotely unreal and Lovecraftean in character as his terror-striking masterpiece, The Outsider. I wonder how many of your readers truly appreciate beauty of this sort. Certainly your publishing material like this raises the magazine many points as an artistic and worthwhile journal. Windows of Destiny, by James B. M. Clark, Jr., in the April issue, is a really remarkable story. It is the first story of its kind I have found in Weird Tales, and it is delightful. At times this tale approaches the fairy-story and it is always an allegory, but the author tells it with prosaic naturalness."
Sanford Aronow, of Toms River, New Jersey, writes to the Eyrie: "I have been a constant reader of your magazine for three years, and I like it better than any other magazine. There were many excellent stories in the May issue. It seems that every time you print the magazine it gets better. I picked Explorers Into Infinity first, The Master of Doom for second, and The Veiled Prophetess third. I like Ray Cummings' story tremendously."
Private Howard A. McElroy writes from the Presidio in San Francisco: "Here is how I became a member of the great order of Weird Tales readers: I was cleaning up the office one night and as I was about to empty the wastebasket I saw a copy of the August, 1926, Weird Tales and took it and thought: 'Here is something new.' Well, I read that copy from back to back. If is entirely different from anything I ever read, and I have read thousands of magazines. My two favorite stories in the May issue are The Master of Doom by Donald Edward Keyhoe and In Kashla's Garden by Oscar Sehisgall. They are weirdly beautiful."
Here is a real knock, from Mrs. R. Snyder of Reading, Pennsylvania: "Dear Sirs: I have been reading weird tales for years I have a habit of saying what I think right out so dont get cross at what I write to you. But you want to snap out of it. you are loseing your trade you print some stories that is not interesting you have so many abut destroying the earth and killing all the peopel that's not interesting at all beside's your stories
